Family Business - Fish

Written by：Mike Simmon

I heard a battle ragin

On the other side of the wall

I buried my head in a pillow and tried to ignore it all

Every night when I hear you

I dream of breaking down your door

An averring knight in shining armor to rescue you from it all

From this family business

Family business

How long does it stay

Family business

Oh it's nobody's business

This family business

But tell me how long it should stay

Family business

When I see you in the supermarket

Sunglasses in the shade

Averting your eyes from those starling questions

How were those bruises made

The children clutch tight to your legs

They've got so much they want to say

But daddy's sitting home drunk again

So they bite their lips and pray

Cause daddy don't like people prying

Poking in his family affairs

And if anyone ask from the social well

You fell down the stairs

It's family business

Keep it in the family business

Can you tell me how long it remains

Family business

Oh it's nobody's business

This family business

Can you tell me how long it should stay

Family business

She's waiting at the bus stop

At the bottom of the hill

She knows she'll never catch it

She knows she never will

The kids are all she lives for

She's got nothing left to lose

Nowhere to escape to

But she knows she's got to move

Cause when daddy tucks the kids in

It's taking longer every night

And the heaven that she's waiting for

Through the hell it lasts all night

It's family business

Keep it in the family business

Can you tell me how long it remains

Family business

Oh it's nobody's business

Oh this family business

Can you tell me how long it should stay

Family business

So I become an accessory

And I don't have an alibi

To the victim on my doorstep

The only way I can justify

It's family business

Family business

How long do we keep it

Family business
